Rice A Roni Buttery Herb Chicken

When I was engaged, my college girlfriends wanted to throw me a bridal shower! They wanted to do something different than the showers I had had before, so they decided upon a Pounding! A pounding is an old fashioned type of shower that was given to brides back in the "day". You give a pound of some sort of food instead of a gift! So they stocked up my pantry full of fun foods and paper products, and we all stocked up on great memories together as we celebrated the evening!
So one of the many items I was gifted was an assortment of Rice A Ronis!!! All flavors! So I thought, I should make a complete meal out of this! Add some chicken, add some veggies and BAM! A full on meal in less than 20 minutes! I will post another Rice A Roni recipe for reference :)

Ingredients
1 package RICE-A-RONI® Herb and Butter
1 skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon margarine
2 cups water
1 cup frozen broccoli

Directions
1. In large skillet, sauté rice-pasta mix with 1 Tbsp. margarine over medium heat until rice mixture is golden brown, stirring frequently.
2. Slowly stir in 2 cups water and 1 uncooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces; bring to a boil.
3. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 min.
4. Cook frozen broccoli in microwave safe container, cover with plastic wrap, for 4 minutes.
5. Stir in Special Seasonings to skillet. Cover; simmer additional 10-15 min. or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Let stand 5 min. before serving.
